Stunning Barn Conversion, Litchfield Hills: 4BD/3BA, Heated Pool, Fireplace
Litchfield, Connecticut, United States
Some houses make you want to unpack slowly. Bantam Barn is absolutely one of them.brbrIt sits at the end of a hidden, winding driveway in the Litchfield Hills, up on a rise, with nearly five acres of woodland and open lawn wrapping around it. You feel the quiet before you even get out of the car. That's usually the moment people exhale for the first time all week.brbrThe bones are 19th-century barn: reclaimed beams, wide-plank floors, hand-hewn details that took decades to accumulate. The rest is very much now. Soaring ceilings, beautiful modern finishes, and a great room anchored by a floor-to-ceiling fieldstone fireplace that stops people mid-sentence when they first walk in. Light comes from everywhere. It genuinely looks better in person than in photos, which is saying something.brbrThe kitchen is properly good, the kind you actually want to cook in. Integrated appliances, induction cooktop, an island big enough to spread out on. It opens to the dining area and living room, so whoever's cooking stays part of the party. Around the corner, a sunken den is perfect for movie nights, slow mornings, or hiding from the kids for twenty minutes.brbrOutside, a heated pool and hot tub run May through October. The surrounding land is the real amenity: nearly five acres of quiet that feels a world away from everything.brbrA note on heating: For stays over one week, a heating surcharge applies (approximately $800/month, prorated and deducted from the deposit). A copy of the oil bill is provided.
